Overall, it was a disappointing end to the season, which makes it hard to appreciate what we did accomplish. However, these are not terrible final rankings for a first year coach.

AP Poll: first out (~26th)
Coaches Poll: first out (~26th)

FEI: 21st
FPI: 15th
Sagarin: 22nd
SP+: 12th

There is a lot to be bullish about on this team & even this coaching staff


But anymore failing at basic fundamentals, inability to show up for big games, or repeat play calls the team is not capable of converting is going to prove we didn't learn our lesson this year


Very small margin of error going forward

Biggest disappointments, losing to Auburn followed by USC. Win those and the other losses were tolerable. In my opinion, those two games epitomize Aggie football. Games we should win, and fail to. Whether that was in the Big12 or SEC. Those games are what hold us from the 9-10 win seasons.

Sips ranked ahead of Georgia. Jajajaja.

**** Georgia and the sec.

I am okay with our Year 1. We were SEC No 1 for a long time.
Year 2 should bebetter. I think we will barely miss the POs.

Many of the ratings systems such as SP+ heavily factor in the recruiting rankings of the current players on the team, so it's not all a measure of performance.

You're looking at the end of the season AP and Coaches poll rankings. In the final rankings, we got exactly one (1) vote in the AP poll.

2024 Final AP Poll

We finished the 2024 season ranked behind such juggernauts as Arizona State, Boise State, Indiana, SMU, BYU, Iowa State, Illinois, South Carolina, Syracuse, Army, Missouri, UNLV, Memphis, Colorado, Navy, Louisville, Kansas State, Marshall, Ohio U., and TCU.

The computer rankings paint a better picture...I guess...but they are fool's gold. Regardless, you cannot argue the fact we finished 8-5 (again), crapped the bed in November (again), and lost our bowl game (again.)

I'm still on board with this coaching staff...for now. But if we don't see a significant improvement in 2025, my vote will be to cut bait and move on to something new ASAP. We've proved waiting around for 6 years doesn't do the trick, so why not hold these multi-millionaire coaches to a "put up or shut up" standard early on?

At what were we good at? Somehow worse than Jimbo's teams on both sides of the ball.

Meh.

I'm ready for a break from college football. I'll be back ready to enjoy it in about 8 months

Check the AP again. We were not first out. We got a single (1) vote out of all voters.
